When I first opened these and saw the colours, I really
wasn’t sure what to think, but the moment I swept my finger across them I
couldn’t wait to try them out. They really are springy, and lay slap bang in
between a powder and a cream eyeshadow. They’re incredibly lightweight and
smooth to use, and require hardly any blending whatsoever. The colour is quite
translucent, with a slight shimmer, so that the colours on the skin are subtle, but obviously the colour is buildable. I like to put the
browner shades just under the bottom lash line, and either the blue or the
yellow on my eyelid, all the way up to the brow, and team it with a thin line
of eyeliner for a 60s Summer look.

These are the answer to my red lip prayers. Being olive
skinned, yet not very tanned, I find it quite hard to find a classic red lip
colour that doesn’t completely wash me out, but the colour palette of this
entire collection is quite warm so it suits me perfectly. These lipsticks are
incredibly smooth and moisturising, and have a matte finish with a slight
shimmer that lasts for ages. Carefree Coral is a pinky red whilst Retro Rose is on the browner side.

For a classic vintage red without the matte finish, this
product is perfect. A bit of sheen with some colour adds volume to your lips, so
for a juicy, voluptuous look, without the grease of your average lip gloss, I
highly recommend this product. My only gripe would be that you need more than
one application to build up a decent amount of colour, but once you’ve achieved
that, it lasts for quite some time.
